Ronald McDonald House (RMHNL) and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, the presenting sponsor of the second annual Red Show Crew-Walk for Families, have released details from this year’s events. More than 3,500 people took part in Ronald McDonald House’s Red Shoe Crew-Walk for Families in 36 communities throughout the province.

These events, held throughout September, raised more than $240,000. The funds will support the annual operation of Ronald McDonald House in accommodating sick or injured children and their families each year.

The Grand Prize for the Red Shoe Crew-Walk for Families event was a trip for two anywhere WestJet flies. For every $100 participants raised on a pledge sheet for Ronald McDonald House, participants received a ballot to be entered into the draw. A total of 1,086 ballots were submitted by all event locations and the winner was Ryan Higdon, who participated in the New Harbour Red Shoe Crew-Walk for Families.
